The Jesse Tree
We are now in the season of the year that the Church calls Advent. One of the things we do during Advent is to remember how the world waited for Jesus to come, for this was the promise that God made to his people. One of the ways we do this is by making and praying with a Jesse Tree. A Jesse Tree helps us to remember and celebrate Jesus' family tree. It helps us to know through words and symbols all the people who led up to Jesus' birth. And, it's our family tree too - because we belong to the same family that Jesus does - God's family. All our elementary Faith Formation families received Jesse tree kits. Here is a video showing you how to use your Jesse tree kit. As we pray our way through Advent using the Jesus’ Family Tree booklet, we’ll add ornaments onto the tree each day. Each page in the booklet contains a Bible verse, a short devotional message and a prayer. How to Look Up a Passage in the Bible Find a Bible Passage Online You can find a Bible...
